    Google and Apple Top List of Companies Grads Most Want To Work For

    While America’s leading tech companies (again) top the annual list of popular employers for soon-to-be graduates, you may be surprised at three companies that rose from the grave of popular opinion in 2012.

    On this year’s Black Friday Walmart has splurged on Barbies and movies. Kmart and Target have done so in household gadgets and Winter clothes. Sears, for a change, has gone all out on many things.

    But after searching through many printed ads of these “empires of the cheap and tasteless”, and after spending the whole night on the dozen or so Black Friday websites online, I’ve come to wonder… where are the REAL bargains on high definition TVs?

    All of the stores mentioned above have their own specials on hdtv, but these “bargains” are for OLD technology.

    I’m sure many people will fall for the hype and buy the sets on “sale”, then next year they will realize they have an obsolete television set. But, for people like me who would rather settle for at least current technology, the hdtvs featured on Black Friday ads are mostly ripoffs.

    For those not knowing what I’m talking about, let’s say that current technology calls for (among other things): at least1080p resolution and 120hz refresh rate. New technology goes at 1080p and 240hz.

    Sets on sale on the ads I’ve seen are for 720p… and 60hz!

    No wonder they are on “sale.”

    People, don’t get zocked!
